About this Event

7pm / 8pm / 8:45pm

Tyrone Cotton plays folk, blues, soul, jazz and rock’n’roll. A fixture on the Louisville music scene for the past 30 years. His grandfather was a Baptist preacher, the Reverend Cleveland Roosevelt Williams, who sang with near-illegal charm, and was Cotton's first musical hero. Other influences include Smokey Robinson, Guy Clark, and Sam Cooke, although he draws his greatest inspiration from Bob Dylan, of whom Cotton says, “He’s the mountain!” - Americana UK.

Mike Younger is a seasoned recording artist and troubadour in the blues, folk, country and rock n roll traditions who started out as a street musician. He was ‘discovered’ busking in New Orleans by country legend Rodney Crowell. His latest album ‘Burning the Big Top Down’ was made in Memphis. Younger’s song ‘ Poisoned Rivers’ was a rallying call during his activism at Standing Rock, and the water crisis in Flint, Michigan. Now based in Nashville TN, where he and his lady raise livestock on a small acreage and are bee keepers.

Jan Bell and her band The Maybelles are Independent Music Award winners. Three part harmony, original country and Americana on fiddle, banjo, guitar and upright bass.
